Product details
Overview
MAX3202EEBS-T from Maxim Integrated is a 2-channel, low-capacitance ESD protection diode array designed for USB and USB 2.0 data lines. It delivers ±15kV HBM, ±8kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge, and ±15kV air-gap discharge protection with 5pF per channel input capacitance, 1nA max leakage current, and operation from +0.9V to +5.5V supply voltage.
For engineers reviewing the MAX3202EEBS-T datasheet, MAX3202EEBS-T pinout, MAX3202EEBS-T application, or MAX3202EEBS-T equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed interface protection where minimal signal distortion, robust transient immunity, and ultra-small footprint are critical - especially in space-constrained USB 2.0 host/device ports and portable electronics.
Technical Context
The MAX3202EEBS-T integrates two bidirectional ESD protection diode pairs between I/O pins and VCC/GND rails, enabling clamping of positive transients to VCC + VF and negative transients to –VF. Its BiCMOS process ensures stable performance across –40°C to +85°C.
Each channel operates independently with no internal coupling; clamping behavior is defined by diode forward voltage (0.65V–0.95V at 10mA) and parasitic inductance management. The device requires an external 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on VCC–GND to absorb ESD charge during contact discharge events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Protection Level | ±15kV Human Body Model - withstands direct human touch discharge without degradation |
| IEC 61000-4-2 Rating | ±8kV Contact Discharge - meets Level 4 industrial immunity standard |
| Channel Input Capacitance | 5pF (typ) at 5V bias - preserves signal integrity on USB 2.0 (480Mbps) interfaces |
| Supply Voltage Range | +0.9V to +5.5V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V systems |
| Leakage Current | ±1nA (max) per channel at 0°C to +50°C - avoids DC loading of high-impedance data lines |
| Clamp Voltage (±15kV Air-Gap) | ±100V peak - limits transient overvoltage seen by downstream PHY or controller |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer portable equipment environments |
Pinout & Package
The MAX3202EEBS-T is packaged in a 4-bump Wafer-Level Package (WLP), measuring 1.05mm × 1.05mm, with bottom-side solder bumps. This ultra-compact, lead-free RoHS-compliant package enables direct mounting beneath USB connectors or on dense PCBs with minimal board area usage.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, B2 | I/O₁, I/O₂ | ESD-protected signal terminals - connect directly to USB D+ and D– lines |
| A2 | GND | Ground reference for clamp current return path - must be low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| B1 | VCC | Power rail clamp reference - bypassed externally with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND |

Applications
| USB 2.0 Host Port Protection | Mobile Device USB Connector |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting upstream USB 2.0 ports on laptops, docking stations, or embedded controllers from ESD events during cable insertion/removal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end ESD shunt that clamps transients before they reach the USB PHY IC's internal protection network. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to the USB transceiver while maintaining <1% signal rise-time degradation at 480Mbps. |
Use Scenario: Shielding micro-USB or USB-C receptacles on smartphones and tablets from user-handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dedicated 2-channel ESD suppressor placed adjacent to the connector, routing surge current to local VCC/GND planes. Use Value: Enables compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 without increasing PCB layer count or adding discrete TVS components. |
| Industrial USB Peripheral Interface | USB OTG Dual-Role Port |
|
Use Scenario: Securing USB ports on programmable logic controllers (PLCs), HMIs, or test equipment exposed to factory-floor ESD risks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone ESD guard for both D+ and D– lines, operating independently of USB speed negotiation or power delivery state. Use Value: Maintains functional reliability across –40°C to +85°C ambient while supporting hot-plug detection and enumeration sequences. |
Use Scenario: Providing symmetric ESD protection on dual-role USB ports used for host/peripheral switching in portable medical or diagnostic devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element compatible with USB On-The-Go signaling polarity reversal. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate protection on ID pin or direction-sensing circuitry - only D+/D– require suppression. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2EUSB30DRYR | 3-channel, 0.7pF typical capacitance, ±12kV HBM, 1.8V–5.5V supply | Optimized for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5Gbps); includes dedicated VBUS detection path | Select when protecting USB 3.x Gen1 interfaces or requiring lower capacitance than MAX3202EEBS-T |
| SP1001-02UTG | 2-channel, 0.6pF typical capacitance, ±15kV HBM, 3.3V fixed clamp, no VCC pin | Capacitorless design - uses grounded diode architecture instead of VCC-referenced clamping | Select when board layout prohibits VCC bypassing or when minimizing component count is prioritized over adjustable clamp threshold |
Compared with TPD2EUSB30DRYR and SP1001-02UTG, the MAX3202EEBS-T offers higher ESD margin (±15kV vs. ±12kV) and VCC-referenced clamping for tighter control over positive transient suppression, making it preferred for USB 2.0 designs where cost, proven qualification, and compatibility with legacy 5V PHYs outweigh ultra-low capacitance needs.

FAQ
What is the package type and dimensions of the MAX3202EEBS-T?
The MAX3202EEBS-T uses a 4-bump Wafer-Level Package (WLP) with dimensions of 1.05mm × 1.05mm and a 0.4mm pitch. It features bottom-side solder bumps and is RoHS-compliant. This ultra-compact footprint allows placement directly under USB connectors or in tight-layout portable electronics where board space is constrained - a key advantage over larger TDFN or TQFN alternatives.
Does the MAX3202EEBS-T require an external bypass capacitor?
Yes, the MAX3202EEBS-T requires a 0.1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor connected between its VCC and GND terminals. This capacitor absorbs ESD charge during contact discharge events and stabilizes the clamp reference voltage. Without it, the device cannot reliably limit transient voltages to the specified ±100V peak under IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap conditions - a requirement explicitly stated in the MAX3202EEBS-T datasheet.
Can the MAX3202EEBS-T be used for USB 3.0 or higher-speed interfaces?
No, the MAX3202EEBS-T is not recommended for USB 3.0 (5Gbps) or higher-speed interfaces. While its 5pF capacitance is suitable for USB 2.0 (480Mbps), USB 3.0 SuperSpeed lanes demand sub-0.8pF capacitance to avoid signal integrity loss. The MAX3202EEBS-T lacks the bandwidth and low-capacitance design required for Gen1+ protocols - use TPD2EUSB30DRYR or similar instead for those applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the MAX3202EEBS-T during an ESD event?
The MAX3202EEBS-T exhibits a maximum clamping voltage of ±100V under ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge conditions (45A pulse). For ±8kV Contact Discharge, clamping is limited to ±60V, and for ±15kV Human Body Model, it is ±25V. These values assume proper PCB layout with minimized parasitic inductance - exceeding them indicates inadequate grounding or insufficient VCC bypassing.
Is the MAX3202EEBS-T compatible with both 3.3V and 5V USB systems?
Yes, the MAX3202EEBS-T supports supply voltages from +0.9V to +5.5V, making it fully compatible with both 3.3V and 5V USB systems. Its VCC-referenced clamping architecture scales the positive clamp threshold to VCC + VF, ensuring appropriate protection margins regardless of rail voltage - a critical feature for mixed-voltage designs like automotive infotainment or industrial gateways with dual USB power domains.
